[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1172474, member: 74879"] The "Off" button is not sending Windows commands. Instead it uses the device information that you have defined for your Harmony. More precisely the off button will send the individual "Power Off" commands for every device of your setup (e.g. TV, AVR, etc.) that you have set up in such way that it switches off if not required for the given function. Wake-up works exactly the same way. The Harmony will send "Power On" (or its equivalent) for each device that is part of the respective function. Unfortunately very often PC's will not that easily wake up. Usually the command to wake up a Windows machine is "Power Toggle" and a standard Logiteh setup sends this command, which is nonetheless configurable.
